馬公市桶盤里，是該市的離島之一，明、清時代叫做「桶盤嶼」。
「桶盤」，不是指稱和盤湊在一起，而是指「牲盤」─盛三牲或五牲祭神或祭祖用的盤子，長約二公尺，寬約一台尺多，髹紅漆，閩南人常用的祭皿之一。
「桶盤」，是泉州土話，正式名稱是牲盤，這個島嶼在馬公市南方海面，與另一個離島虎井嶼毗鄰；先民所以取「桶盤」作地名，相傳是島嶼的地形像牲盤（桶盤），但是，事實上並不太像。
明、清時代，閩南的官、商船通常是航經澎湖的北海，到鹿港、安平一帶港口停泊，到了同治年間，改變航線的官、商船增加了，它們改為航經澎湖的南海，即航行桶盤嶼北岸，然後到達「打狗港」（今高雄港），當先民坐船航經桶盤時，認為桶盤這個島嶼像牲盤，因而叫它桶盤嶼。
假設這個說法不錯，桶盤這個地名即不是由在桶盤落戶的先民所取，而是由坐船航經澎湖南海的先民所取，沿用至今有四百年歷史了。
桶盤嶼滿潮面積零點三四三九平方公里，民國七十六年居民最多時有三百五十六人，近年來由於漁業資源枯竭，無魚可捕，生計去失憑依，人口外流嚴重，目前只剩下一百多人。 明朝永曆十五年（公元一六六一年）鄭成功率領數百艘大小戰船東征，自金門遼邏灣開到澎湖時，二萬多運隊從「大嶼」（七美鄉）、「八罩」（望安鄉）一帶海域的島嶼登陸時，也有軍隊登陸桶盤嶼，並向先民征糧。
但是，當年桶盤嶼只居住三十多個漁民，家中只有魚乾、醃鹹魚及少量高梁乾糧，像其他島嶼的漁民一樣，據「從征實錄」記載，鄭家軍征到的糧食還不夠二萬多軍隊吃一天，因此又全部發還給各島嶼的居民。
在古代，桶盤島雖然居民不多，可是由於它位在馬公本島南岸，飽受戰亂及海盜掠奪之苦，到了清朝光緒十八年才列入行政區域，叫做「桶盤社」，屬「嵵裡澳」管轄，光復初期，與虎井合為一里，叫「虎桶里」，民國四十年實施地方自治，因而與虎井分開，獨立成為桶盤里。
